Международная отправка тяжелой техники и оборудования

We ship all types of construction and heavy equipment worldwide including excavators, bulldozers, wheel loaders, backhoes, skid steers, forklifts, cranes, graders, compactors, pavers, drilling rigs, agricultural equipment (tractors, harvesters, combines), mining equipment, material handling equipment, and industrial machinery. We handle equipment of all sizes from compact mini-excavators to massive mining trucks and cranes weighing over 100 tons. Our specialized team has experience with oversized and overweight cargo, ensuring proper loading, securing, and transport of your valuable equipment.

Yes, for most international shipments, heavy equipment must have fuel tanks drained to 1/4 tank or less for safety and customs regulations. However, hydraulic fluid, engine oil, and coolant typically remain in the equipment. For RoRo shipping, fuel must be minimal (under 1/4 tank). For container or flat rack shipping, regulations vary by destination country. Some countries require complete fluid drainage while others allow operational levels. We provide specific requirements based on your destination and shipping method. Battery terminals should be disconnected, and we recommend removing or securing loose parts. Our team guides you through all preparation requirements.

Heavy equipment loading methods depend on size and shipping method. For container shipping, equipment is driven or lifted into 40' or 45' High Cube containers and secured with chains, straps, and wheel chocks. Flat rack containers are used for oversized equipment that exceeds container dimensions - machinery is placed on the flat rack and secured with heavy-duty chains and lashing points. Breakbulk shipping is used for extremely large equipment, loaded directly onto the vessel deck. Our certified rigging specialists ensure proper weight distribution and securement using internationally approved methods. All equipment is photographed before and after loading for documentation.

Required documents for international heavy equipment export include: bill of sale or proof of ownership, commercial invoice with equipment value, shipper's letter of instruction, export declaration (EEI filed through AES), packing list with dimensions and weight, and destination country import permit or license (if required). Additional documents may include fumigation certificate (for wooden crates), manufacturer's specification sheets, and customs declaration forms. For used equipment, some countries require inspection certificates or compliance documents. We handle all documentation preparation and customs filing to ensure smooth clearance at origin and destination ports.

International heavy equipment shipping typically takes 3-10 weeks depending on destination and equipment size. Transit includes: equipment preparation and inland transport to port (5-10 days), port handling and loading (3-7 days), ocean freight (2-6 weeks depending on destination), customs clearance (2-7 days), and final delivery (3-7 days). Europe shipments average 3-4 weeks, Africa 4-6 weeks, Asia 4-7 weeks, Australia 5-8 weeks, and South America 3-5 weeks. Oversized equipment may require special vessel arrangements adding 1-2 weeks. We provide detailed transit timelines and tracking updates throughout the shipment.

Absolutely! We specialize in oversized and out-of-gauge heavy equipment shipping. For equipment exceeding standard container dimensions (40'L x 8'W x 8.5'H), we use flat rack containers (open-top platforms) or breakbulk shipping (direct deck loading). Flat racks accommodate equipment up to 45' long, 12' wide, and unlimited height with proper permits. For extremely large machinery, breakbulk vessels can handle equipment weighing hundreds of tons. We arrange all permits, special handling, and documentation for oversized cargo. Our expert team calculates precise dimensions, weight, and center of gravity to ensure safe transport of your large equipment.

Yes, comprehensive marine cargo insurance is essential and available for all heavy equipment shipments. Standard coverage includes total loss, physical damage, theft, and general average at rates of 1-3% of equipment value. We offer all-risk policies covering loading/unloading, ocean transit, and inland transport. Coverage can include new replacement cost or depreciated value based on equipment age and condition. Given the high value of heavy machinery (often $50,000-$500,000+), insurance provides critical protection against potential damage or loss. Claims are handled efficiently through our insurance partners. We provide detailed insurance quotes and can include coverage in your shipping package.
